[Old School]

Whether one is a "legal" immigrant or not, I stand by what I said in the thread starter. Period. I don't think a person leaves their home country (usually a country gripped by poverty and governmental corruntion) to come to a new country based on a desire to be a law breaker. Desperation, desire to send money back to family...a chance, an opportunity. It is hard for me to resent that, as I think I would do the same were the situations reversed.

I agree with Fenix, I don't have a provlem with the one's that are here legally. I just don't think it's fair to the ones that have gone through the hole legalization process to become U.S. Citizens, and now some politicians are wanting to grant these illegals U.S. citizenship just because they are in the U.S. without knowing their background. Why are these illegals afraid to go through the legalization process? It looks like to me if they wanted to become legal citizens they would be more than willing to go through the process.
